In Your Heart

What you carry with you can be of significant consequence. To an extent we choose these things. We grasp tightly to what if’s and why not’s, and fail to be genuinely present. Through all the years some of the heaviest temporal wisdom I have garnered is in introspecting in time with your emotions. Allowing yourself to feel, and not holding yourself to an inhuman ideal.

The past handful of months have been taxing. My spirit has been bombarded by everything from suicide to heartbreak. Despite the pain I have also been blessed with many opportunities. Living gratefully—or thankfully, is not just for the month of November, or a single day. Praise the Lord in the figurative valleys as well as the peaks of mountains, for it is in the valleys where you typically find the water runs.
